Kaunas car hire

The type of Kaunas car hire you should choose depends highly on the time of the year that you plan on visiting. If you are there in the summer months, then a compact car is perfect for a few days spent in the city and short drives to the sights around it. However, in the winter months, you will need a car that is suitable for driving in the snow, such as a 4x4, especially if you plan on heading to the slopes and need to carry some ski gear with you.
